Technology and Human Life 
 
There is no doubt that we are experiencing a huge development in the field of technology. This technology has affected our lives negatively or positively. As a result, it has affected the way we live and we rely heavily on it. We still hear daily discoveries and inventions reached by scientists. Technology has spread in all regions and is used by humans at all times. It is no longer confined to work and in advanced societies, but anyone, regardless of his or her cultural or social level, or whatever his age, can use a cell phone, for example, to take pictures, sending and receiving them.
 
Technology has been able to solve many of the outstanding problems in our lives. The development of transportation, for example, made it easy to move from one place to another without fatigue (疲劳) or waiting for a long time. In the old time, people used animals to move from place to another, and some trips required him/her months; while now the transition from one country to another does not require hours even sometimes.
 
Thanks to the development of science and technology, human society has enjoyed continuous prosperity and more convenience. However, just like a double-edged sword, it can cause problems too. For example, like any other technology, AI will also bring risks and dangers. Some of the risks were as dramatic as the ones we see in books and movies. It is possible that AI could be used to generate fake images and videos. While this possibility is unlikely for now, there are many other dangers that AI could pose to mankind. Driverless cars, which are already being tested all over the world has caused many legal and ethical questions. These difficult questions have prevented the widespread use of driverless cars so far.
 
Therefore, how to deal with the progress of science and technology properly is worth our careful consideration.  Humans must be alert against the possible harm while enjoying the benefits from them.
